Great movie. I read complaints about the accents và the fact that you don"t know who the "good guys" are. That could only have been written by an American. After I watched it I was grateful that it wasn"t produced by or solely for an American audience because it would have been dumbed down considerably. Smartly written và very well acted. A roller coaster of a movie that seemed to lớn never let up. I laud the fact that this film did not take sides and has a nuanced approach khổng lồ what it addressed regarding the conflict in Norther Ireland. I"ve read my fair tóm tắt on it, và it was a quagmire of competing forces that sometimes found the same sides pitted against one another. This movie showed that.
Wow! Purposely Disturbing, Fear evoking, Edifying, Shocking, Tinder, Empathetic, Hateful. And Awesome! The direction, sets, cinematography, as well as actors facial expression and body language are masterful. This film is truly fine art.
Republicans or loyalists, Catholics or Protestants – this film is not about political or religious trenches. People died, but it’s more than the bombs, bullets & bodies. The more fascinating damage was done lớn psyches và souls, and Demange, with ’71, comes for yours.
The setting may be Belfast ’71, but Demange’s sensibility — first-rate suspense coupled with black-and-white politics — is much more James Cameron ’86.
A master class in structure, a meticulously constructed period piece, a powerful anti-war film, & rarest of all, a thriller whose tension and suspense feel genuinely earned.
Last seen in “Starred Up” và Angelina Jolie’s “Unbroken,” O’Connell continues lớn bring equal measures of toughness and vulnerability lớn his characters. Despite his good looks, there’s an everyman’s unique to him, which he uses to lớn full effect in ’71.

Demange is a strong storyteller và masks the script’s tendency lớn nod to every opinion and social division by offering a masterclass in tension as soon as his dramatic bomb starts ticking.
One of the most intense and deeply immersive films I"ve ever watched. I would wholeheartedly recommend this film to lớn anyone with even a passing interest in war films.
I really enjoyed this film & thought the acting by Jack O"Connell was superb, he played a young inexperienced soldier thrown into a desperate situation excellently. Its a gritty, tense, movie and once it got started I was engrossed until the end. Its a very believable story, và doesn"t take sides in the conflict, its more of an anti-establishment film & shows the corruption on both sides.It has a great story, excellent cinematography và superb acting, I would recommend it.
In “ ’71,” an excitingly jumpy, finely calibrated chase movie about a British soldier caught behind enemy lines, the director Yann Demange goes from zero to lớn 100 in the blink of an eye. The soldier is played by Jack O’Connell, last seen being brutalized (in more ways than one) in “Unbroken,” the Angelina Jolie biopic about Louis Zamperini. That movie proved a bad fit for Mr. O’Connell, who never put down roots in the character, an Olympian turned World War II captive, because Ms. Jolie couldn’t or wouldn’t let him. By contrast, Mr. O’Connell runs away with “ ’71,” in which his character’s every emotional, psychological và physical hurdle makes for kinetic cinema.I mean run literally. The movie is set against the sectarian violence in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in a year that opened with the tarring & feathering of several men by the Irish Republican Army. By February, a British soldier was dead as were a number of civilians, and several riots had convulsed Belfast. It’s against this backdrop that Mr. O’Connell’s character, Gary Hook, arrives with a regiment of similarly inexperienced soldiers. Smoke pours from burning cars, some strategically bookending streets like barricades. During the day, children play among scattered bricks that they sometimes hurl at the soldiers (when they’re not lobbing bags of feces instead). At night, the mazelike streets belong to the war and the running people, British & Irish, stoking the flames.When you meet Gary, he’s a wide-eyed recruit on the receiving end of another man’s fists. He doesn’t talk much. The movie, written by the playwright Gregory Burke, favors narrative devices like foreshadowing and doubling over the usual blabbity blab, an approach that dovetails with Mr. Demange’s talent for elegantly deployed action. The blood that pours from Gary’s face bluntly sets the scene but also foreshadows the river of red to come. Similarly, the obstacle course that Gary and his fellow soldiers soon run, leaping và going belly down in the muck, forecasts the more punishing hurdles lớn come. Meanwhile, a short, elliptical sequence of Gary và his young brother, Darren (Harry Verity), adds some personal detail even as it presages the later appearance of a second boy.That may sound too schematic, but Mr. Demange moves so effortlessly và rapidly from these introductory interludes that you may not notice all the parts shifting into gear. He knows when lớn linger in the moment, too, as when Gary watches Darren at a home for children, a place that, you intuit, the older brother knows inch by loveless inch.You never learn why or how the brothers came lớn this sterile holding pen. As the story unfolds, though, you wonder if being parentless explains the seriousness of Gary’s gaze và his mournfulness. His immaturity và the military may explain his reserve, but it’s also a good guess that his survival instincts were honed in that home.Men and women have been sprinting across screens since Eadweard Muybridge turned his cameras on them in the late 19th century. The silent clowns ran as does Jason Bourne, and, at times, it seems as if the movies were made for ready, set, go, go, go: Buster Keaton bolting in “Seven Chances”; Cary Grant fleeing in “North by Northwest”; Franka Potente racing in “Run Lola Run.” Mr. Demange makes his feature directing debut with “ ’71,” but he already knows how khổng lồ move bodies through space and the complex choreography that he’s worked out in this movie is a thing of joy. One minute, Gary is ripping down an alley with the camera jostling after him, as if desperate to keep up; the next, he’s careering down a street, the camera now steadily gliding alongside him.Much of the movie takes place in a single night, which certainly worked for James Joyce in “Ulysses.” Whether or not the filmmakers self-consciously borrowed from that book’s chapter phối during one hallucinatory Dublin evening, Gary’s journey into this other night-town is similarly a voyage into the self. In between sprints — he’s soon fleeing a breakaway faction of the I.R.A., led by an eager killer, Quinn (Killian Scott) — he meets several souls who help him out, sometimes a bit too conveniently, including a father và daughter, Eamon (Richard Dormer) and Brigid (Charlie Murphy). What Gary doesn’t know is that the biggest threat may come in the khung of an undercover British unit led by a twitchy captain, Browning (a ferocious Sean Harris). The enemy of Gary’s enemy is closing in.
